God: Reconnect to Him

The Conspiracy against God is about "The Word", and the profaning of His Holy Name within us. Adam fell in the garden, breaking the direct connection to God.
Jesus, the "last Adam" was a quickening Spirit, the Word made Flesh, and the only one with whom we can re-establish our relationship with God.
Michael's story is still unfolding. He is the one who is, is not.
But Jesus is the only name given under heaven by which we must be saved. Many are trying to rewrite HIStory.

Slipery Slope, Sony's Rope - Part 4

Slipery Slope, Sony's Rope - Part 4

(Stephanie then sent me a NEW timeline, which
included some Branca stuff:

I am so happy that you liked my time line, below
is a cleaner version for you...I started at what I believe is the very beginning
of his demise. I will send a follow up email to your last two emails, but I
wanted to send you this article asap:

"When they first met in the 1970s, they
were two of the most famous entertainers on earth---Michael Jackson and Paul
McCartney. They became good friends. Their partnership in the early 1980s
produced hits like "Say Say Say" and "The Girl Is Mine."
There was a lot of common ground between them." But the relationship
between Jackson and McCartney was ruined in 1985 when Michael bid for the
rights to the Beatles song copyright catalogue. Jackson won, paying $47.5
million for more than 200 songs, including classics such as
"Yesterday" and "Let It Be."The details of the 10-month
negotiations never became entirely clear. The story goes that one day at Paul
McCartney' s house they were having dinner and Paul casually mentioned that the
way to make real money in the music business is through publishing," the
acquisition of the songs was the move of a very smart businessman. "Michael
Jackson's investment in the Beatles' catalog was one of the most brilliant
coups in all of music history," Sisario told ABC News. "He got his
hands on the most valuable songs that there are for a pretty small amount of
money. That has ballooned from about $50 million into more than a billion
dollars."But McCartney was furious, and the two reportedly didn't speak
for years. "You know what doesn't feel very good," McCartney said as
recently as 2006, "is going on tour and paying to sing all my songs. Every
time I sing 'Hey Jude,' I've got to pay someone." and Randy Phillips and
countless tours pop up) "It' (Randy Phillips handles all of Paul's tours
though AEG, simply google Paul McCartenys not just about the money,"
Sisario said. "It's about music. It's about what Paul McCartney created
with John Lennon. I mean, this is his legacy to the world. And naturally he
wants to own it, he wants to control it."
At the time of his death, the pop icon was an estimated 1/2 billion dollars in
debt. Jackson's song collection was his largest asset.

1985--John Branca, Jackson's attorney, advised the singer that the
Northern Songs catalogue was up for sale. Warned of the competition he would
face in buying such popular songs, Jackson remained resolute in his decision to
purchase them. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing" \l
"cite_note-tara_335.E2.80.93338-8" \t "_blank" [9] Branca approached McCartney's attorney to query whether the
Beatle was planning to bid. The attorney stated he wasn't; it was "too
pricey". HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing" \l
"cite_note-tara_335.E2.80.93338-8" \t "_blank" [9] McCartney had previously attempted to purchase Northern Songs
alongside John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono in 1981 for $20 million; the pair would
each pay $10 million. Ono refused as she thought it was too high a price. Not
wanting to spend the $20 million himself, McCartney let the sale fall through.
HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing" \l
"cite_note-tara_335.E2.80.93338-8" \t "_blank" [9] After months of negotiating, Branca closed the deal and purchased
Northern Songs on Jackson's behalf for $47.5 million. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing" \l
"cite_note-tara_335.E2.80.93338-8" \t "_blank" [9]Since Bandier laid claim to the ATV catalog back when it still
belonged to a British company (affiliate of the BBC) and lost his bid to
Michael Jackson, the path was laid. Michael effectively became a multi-million
dollar corporation as a result of that catalog alone. John Branca helped him secure the deal for that catalog. Michael’s
winning bid became the start of the conspiracy.

1886-- Dr. Arnold Klein began treating Michael serving as his dermatologist
for the next 30 years

1988-- Quote from Dileo
after being fired by Michael Jackson “I have a strong belief in what comes
around goes around. It’s called Karma, and I hope Michael understands what that
means. If he doesn’t now, one day he will.” Frank Dileo has been fired from a
job he’d held for five years—that of Michael Jackson’s manager.Dileo and
Jackson had just finished the grueling 16-month-long Bad World Tour. The stress
of moving the MJ circus—213 strong—every three days across four continents had
caused Dileo to put on considerable weight. So he headed to Duke University’s
medical center to trim down and regain his health. The doctors discovered he’d
developed diabetes. A week into his weight-loss regimen, he got the news that
he’d been unceremoniously dumped by the King of Pop.

1990-- John Branca tries to
convince Michael Jackson to share equity in his publishing in 1990. Michael
Jackson abruptly left Branca in 1990 when record company mogul David Geffen
convinced him that Branca exerted too much control. (Pro Branca)

1991--March--Michael Jackson renewed his contract with Sony for
$100 million, a record-breaking deal at the time 1991--November 8th-26th--"Black or

second to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart

1992--May--Jackson became firm friends with Jordan Chandler and
his family after, as he was a fan of Jackson. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child_sexual_abuse_accusations_against_Michael_Jackson"
\l "cite_note-campbell_47-50-8" \t "_blank" Their
friendship became so close that the HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Enquirer" \o "National
Enquirer" \t "_blank" National Enquirer ran a featured story with the title
"Michael's New Adopted Family", which implied that Jackson had
"stolen" the boy from his estranged father, Evan Chandler, who was
admittedly jealous over Jackson's influence on his son.

1993--Jackson re-hired Branca and appointed him as one of his
representatives on the Board of Sony/ATV. (

1993--An excerpt of a recorded conversation between Evan
Chandler's father and stepfather which can be found in a book entitled
"Redemption", by Geraldine Hughes- Evan's father is speaking: “I’m
prepared to move against Michael Jackson. It’s allready set. There are people
involved that are waiting for my phone call that are in certain positions. I’ve
paid them to do it. Everything’s going according to a certain plan that isn’t
just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody
in sight in any devious, nasty, cruel way that he can do it. And I’ve given him
full authority to do that.” Whoever this person is that the father is referring
to probably had proximity to Michael Jackson, and the ability to control people
in Michael Jackson’s world. If Frank Dileo was responsible, it would explain
why so many former employees gave interviews saying they saw michael jackson do
things with children. Jackson was soon accused of child molestation by
13-year-old Jordan Chandler and his father, Evan Chandler. HYPERLINK

family demanded payment from Jackson, and the singer initially refused. Jordan
Chandler eventually told the police that Jackson had sexually abused him.
HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" \l
"cite_note-tara_496-498-105" \t "_blank" Dr. Chandler was tape-recorded discussing his
intention to pursue charges, saying, "If I go through with this, I win
big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want and they will be
destroyed forever ... Michael's career will be over". Jordan's mother
was, however, adamant that there had been no wrongdoing on Jackson's part.
HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" \l
"cite_note-tara_477-478-104" \t "_blank" [Jackson later used the recording to argue that he was the victim
of a jealous father whose only goal was to extort money from the singer.

1993--December--In December 1993 Gordon hastily arranged a press
conference in Tel Aviv where he had Jackson read a statement claiming to
believe the sensational allegations against her younger brother might be true.

1994--January 1--Jackson's insurance carrier settled with the

stopped co-operating with the criminal investigation. HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson"

1995--Jackson merged his ATV Music catalog with Sony's music
publishing division creating Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Jackson retained
half-ownership of the company, earned $95 million upfront as well as the
rights to even more songs. The company became the third largest music
publisher in the world.The value of Sony/ATV Music Publishing has varied in
reports. Industry experts have estimated the company to be worth as much as
$1.5 billion.

2001--May--Jackson denied rumours that he was planning to sell the
Beatles' song catalogue. Rumours had circulated that the singer was to sell
them in order to finance the upkeep of Neverland Ranch and to cover legal bill
expenses. HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony/ATV_Music_Publishing"

2001--October--Invincible
is Jackson's first full-length album in six years, and it would be the last
album of new material he released while still alive. The release of the album
was preceded by a dispute between Jackson and his record label, Sony. Jackson
had expected the licenses to the masters of his albums to revert to him
sometime in the early 2000s. Once he had the licenses, he would be able to
promote the material however he pleased and he would also be able to keep all
the profits. However, due to various clauses in the contract, the revert date
turned out to be many years away. Jackson discovered that the attorney who
represented him in the deal was also representing Sony. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" \l
"cite_note-tara_610.E2.80.93611-133" \t "_blank" Jackson
was also concerned about another conflict of interest. For a number of years,
Sony had been pushing to buy all of Jackson's share in their music catalog
venture. Jackson feared that Sony might have something to gain from Jackson's
career failing, since if his career did fail he would have to sell his share of
the catalog. HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson"
\l "cite_note-tara_614.E2.80.93617-137" \t "_blank" Jackson sought an early exit from his
contract. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" \l
"cite_note-tara_610.E2.80.93611-133" \t "_blank" Just before the release of HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_%28Michael_Jackson_album%29"
\o "Invincible (Michael Jackson album)" \t "_blank" Invincible, Jackson informed the head of Sony Music
Entertainment, HYPERLINK

"cite_note-tara_610.E2.80.93611-133" \t "_blank" As a
result, all singles releases, video shootings and promotions concerning the Invincible album were suspended.

2002--Jackson has spent the last couple of months complaining that
Sony didn't do enough to promote and market ''Invincible,'' released last
November on Sony's Epic label, which sold 2 million copies in the U.S. and only
a few million more in the rest of the world -- lackluster figures by Jackson's
standards. Sony says it has done plenty, having spent $50 million producing and
promoting the album, but it balked at Jackson's request earlier this year for
$8 million to shoot a third video for the album, the Times reports. But the
dispute over the handling of ''Invincible'' grew out of a larger struggle
between Jackson and Sony over Jackson's effort this year to renegotiate his
contract with the label, where he has spent his entire adult career, those
involved in the negotiations tell the Times.At issue are two sets of assets.
One is Jackson's master recordings, which Sony is supposed to turn over to him
in seven years, but which he wants in three. (Owning those will mean he no
longer has to split royalties with Sony.) The other is Sony/ATV, the music
publishing company that Jackson co-owns with Sony, which holds the copyrights
to several hundred thousand songs, including the catalogs of the Beatles and
such Sony artists as Bob Dylan. (Last week, Sony/ATV bought Nashville publisher
Acuff-Rose, which holds the rights to 55,000 country songs.) Both Jackson and
Sony want to buy out each other's stake in the publishing venture, the Times
says.

The Times quotes two people close to Jackson as saying he plans to
sue Sony. ''If you look ahead to what can happen, it's in the courtroom,'' one
of them told the Times. ''Then it gets interesting.'' Sharpton tells the Times
he didn't know that the dispute between Jackson and Sony was that acrimonious when
Jackson called him in May with the idea for the black musicians' initiative.
''Michael had told me he was involved in a negotiation at that point,''
Sharpton said. "But I did not know if it had turned hostile or not''.

But it had, coming to a head with Jackson's public appearances
Saturday, including one at a Sharpton-sponsored rally, at which Jackson called
Mottola (who is also Mariah Carey's ex-husband) a racist. Later in the day, he
held up a poster depicting Mottola as the devil.

2002--July-- MJ protesting Sony/Mottola/not supporting his new
album...this is what he was doing while his "will" was allegedly
being created and signed by him in Lols Angeles.... HYPERLINK

2003--Thomas Mesereau claims he was initially approached to be the
legal counsel for Michael Jackson in November 2003. He began to investigate
John Branca, and it was discovered that Branca had an offshore account in which
Sony transferred funds to Branca while Branca was representing Michael. On
February 3, Michael Jackson Terminated Branca as his Attorney. Branca
didnt follow instructions such as returning original documents including the
2002 Will. Nor did he resign as executor as Barry Siegel did. Branca therefore
didnt comply with the 2003 instructions and therefore is acting in a fraudulent
manner. He should NOT have a copy of MJ's 2002 Will and should not be a
co-executor per Michael's instructions of 2003 --the firing letter from
Mesereau -- HYPERLINK

co-counsel Cochran and Sanger in April 2004.

2006--Branca resigned as Jackson's lawyer and sold back his equity
interest in Sony/ATV.

2008--March--Increasingly, Jackson's inner circle is shrinking
down to a core group of key advisers. Mindful of having taken bad advice in the
past, he now relies on the select counsel of a handful of eminences grises. One
of them is the suave Peter Lopez, a highly-regarded entertainment lawyer with
excellent Hollywood credentials. Lopez confirms that Jackson is in 'continued
dialogue' with AEG Live and that there have been a number of 'informal
conversations' with both Fuller and Wall over the course of the past year. 'All
of these I would categorise as preliminary, ongoing discussions,' he says, over
the phone from his office in Los Angeles. 'Michael is very excited to be moving
forward.' Lopez also insists that talk of a financial crisis is 'hogwash'.
'Neverland is not being auctioned off, it's simply that Michael has changed
lenders. This talk emerges from several journalists in the US who love to spin
things in the most negative way possible. The facts are the facts and he's had
some cash flow issues in the past, but it's all under control now.'

2009--January--Dr. Tohme takes MJ to the Palm Hotel in Las Vegas
to meet/sign a 10 show Deal with Randy Phillips and AEG

2009--May 12th--Randy Phillips claimed that his company was
“well-insured” and that Jackson had passed a physical with “flying colors”.

2009--May 15th-- During this meeting with Randy Phillips and Frank
Dileo, Joe TOLD them Michael was sick and neede help, they ignored him. It was
during THIS MEETING that Randy Phillips had the opportunity to STOP these
concerts and get MJ into a rehab facility and SAVE HIS LIFE…..he blew Joe off.

2009--June 17, eight days before Jackson died, Jackson signed a
letter hiring Branca back as his lawyer.

2009--June 25th--Michael Jackson is murdered

2009--June 30th--Frank Dileo announces he has been appointed to
the board of Sony/ATV Music Publishing

2009--June 30th--AEG announces they have hours of practice footage
of MJ that will possibly be released as a film.Footage from Jackson’s final
rehearsals is already being compiled for a DVD and album

2009--July 1st--Branca produced Jackson's final will and
testament, which designated Branca as executor. The Jackson family filed a
preemptive probate action in the Los Angeles Superior Court, based on the
allegation that Jackson died "intestate," without a valid will.
Branca filed the will in Los Angeles on July 1, 2009 and was appointed
co-executor. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Branca" \l "cite_note-3"
\t "_blank" Katherine Jackson has since filed a petition to the
Court, asking for a determination whether she will be disinherited under the
"no-contest" clause of the will if she challenges Branca's
appointment as executor. After filling for interim control of her son's will,
the judge informed his mother that Branca, along with John McClain would
continue to be primary executors of the pop icon's will. HYPERLINK
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Branca" \l "cite_note-4"
\t "_blank" Since that decision there has been no word wether
Jackson will get further control over her son's assets, but it is obvious that
this is the case since the film This Is
It and the current Cirque de Sole deal, in which, both Branca and McClain
had major roles in did not involve Katherine Jackson

2009--July 7th--Staples holds mermorial for
MJ, According to New York Daily News, more than 31 million watched Michael
Jackson’s memorial service tribute, the “second” most watched broadcast
memorial service after Princess Diana’s.
Held in Los Angeles’ Staples Center, viewers watched as Jackson’s brothers,
wearing his trademark white sequined glove, carried Michael Jackson’s coffin
into the area designated for Michael’s coffin, where it was placed a short
distance from where Jackson’s family was seated. State of the art speakers
played Jackson’s songs, “We Are The World” and “Heal The World”, while, above
the stage, a large screen broadcast video clips of Jackson performing his
famous moonwalk at Motown’s 25th Anniversary Special, young Michael, and
Michael Jackson kissing his long lost pet chimpanzee Bubbles. The memorial
service was arranged by concert promoters AEG Live and held in AEG’s Staples
Center while the feed to the media was free. AEG Live abstained from selling
merchandise to the 11,000 who held free tickets to the service.

2009--July 7th--Randy Phillips says MJ ducked out of more than two
and a half months of preparation for the 02 shows and only put in any effort in
the last two weeks before his death. Speaking exclusively to the News of the
World, Phillips said: "The public have to understand - Michael wasn't the
hardest worker in the world."A lot of the rehearsals had been for the
dancers, musicians and backing singers, he wasn't actually participating."But
Phillips said the final rehearsal before the star died of a cardiac arrest was
"magnificent". The AEG boss also denied his firm pushed Michael
into committing to the 50 shows. He said: "The original deal was 30 shows.
We started with 10 - putting 30 is a disincentive for people to buy
early."

2009--July 22--People magazine reports that Katherine filed a
request to Jackson’s attorneys handling Jackson’s estate to “speed up” their
efforts. Katherine alleged that, so far, the attorneys “apparently intent on
keeping her in the dark as much and for as long as possible.” What’s
interesting to note is just who responded to Katherine’s request: the attorneys
handling the Jackson estate, John Branca and John McClain, and
AEG: “Attorneys for Jackson’s estate and AEG, which was to promote
Jackson’s big comeback concert this summer in London, countered that her
request is “voluminous, burdensome and invasive.” They also expressed concern
that Katherine would not uphold a confidentiality agreement for Jackson’s
concert deal.”

2009--July 23--Insider.com reported that AEG
Live had filed papers in order to petition the probate court handling Michael
Jackson’s estate. According to the AEG spokesperson, AEG filed a request for
“special notice, meaning we can receive copies of papers filed as part of the
proceedings”. AEG went on to state that they were an “interested party” and

2009--July 29--The Chicago Tribune reported Sony Pictures had paid
$60 million to concert promoter AEG Live for the “rights to 80 hours of Michael
Jackson rehearsal footage recorded in preparation for his ill-fated “This Is
It” tour”. Purportedly 90% of the $60 million will go to the Jackson estate.

2009--July 30th--It is discovered by myself and posted on TMZ that
AEG had sold box suites for the Staples center funereal for $5,000 a piece,
with the promise that a donation would go to the LAPD. Not true.

2009--July 31st--TMZ has learned AEG has dropped off the $90,000 to the L.A. Police
Foundation -- as promised. We're told part of the money will go to build a
memorial for fallen officers in front of the new police headquarters in
downtown L.A. AEG is finally putting its money where its mouth is
-- saying they will follow through with their promise to donate money raised at
the Michael Jackson memorial to the L.A. Police
Foundation. The timing couldn't be more impeccable, considering HYPERLINK

2009--November 1st--"Michael Jackson's This Is It" pulled in $101 million
worldwide in its first five days, and distributor Sony is extending the
farewell performance
HYPERLINK "http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/33577272" \t
"_blank" film beyond its planned two-week run. The
film was the No. 1 Halloween thriller domestically with a $21.3 million opening
weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday."This Is It" raised its
domestic total to $32.5 million. The movie pulled in $68.5 million overseas,
including $10.4 million in Japan, $6.3 million in Germany, $5.8 million in
France and $3.2 million in China.

2009--November 5th--The body of Evan Chandler is discovered in his
Jersey City residence at about 5:35 p.m. after he went missing.

2009--November 30th--Sony Pictures announced
that "This Is It" will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on January 26.
According to HYPERLINK
"http://www.homemediamagazine.com/sony-pictures/sony-readies--it-dvd-and-blu-ray-disc-17695"
\t "_blank" Home Media Magazine, the DVD version will include an hour of
extra footage in the form of featurettes on the making of the film, costumes,
dancer auditions and the performers' memories of Jackson. The Blu-Ray will
contain that footage, plus an additional half hour that includes alternate
versions of videos of "Smooth Criminal" and "Thriller."

"This Is It" was originally scheduled for a two-week
limited run in theaters, with hopes of a DVD version in stores by Christmas. But
due to the popularity of the movie and complaints from theater owners that the
Christmas release window was too soon, the run was extended by a month and the
DVD release was pushed back, according to the HYPERLINK
"http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/10/sonys-aborted-attempt-to-release-this-is-it-dvd-before-christmas.html"
\t "_blank" Los Angeles Times. The film has taken in more than $70
million at the U.S. box office since opening on October 28.

2009--December 18th-- Bruce Ayers was found dead in the middle of
a sidewalk. He was 44 years old. In the article it states within the same
sentence that Ayers had “met Michael several times and was a known drug
abuser.” It also states that hospital records show that Ayers was hospitalized
3 different times for “pain issues” not “drug issues”. So other than Klein
stating Ayers was a drug addict, where was the proof? Bruce Ayers was fired
from Dr. Klein’s office in February of 2009 (right before Michael’s London
Press Conference announcing his “This is It” concert series), after working for
Klein for approximately three years.

2010--March 16th--Michael Jackson estate has signed the biggest
deal ever in music -- worth up to $250 million with a guarantee of $200
million. The estate made the deal with Sony Music Entertainment -- the contract
is for 10 projects over seven years. One album will debut in November, which
contains never-before released recordings. MJ
HYPERLINK "http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/16/michael-jackson-record-deal-sony-entertainment-albums-music-estate/"

material. The royalty rate on foreign sales is the key to the deal -- and 2/3
of the sales of MJ records traditionally have been outside the U.S. HYPERLINK "http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/16/michael-jackson-record-deal-sony-entertainment-albums-music-estate/"

estate.

2010--Apirl 30th--Peter Lopez was found dead on Friday morning at
his home in the San Fernando Valley in California. A source from the Los
Angeles Coroner’s Office revealed: “Lopez pointed a gun at his head and pulled
the trigger. The bullet went through and through his brain and he died
instantly. “He killed himself in the backyard and left a one page suicide note
also.” Friends and family of the entertainment lawyer are, not surprisingly,
reeling from the news, saying that he showed no outward signs of depression,
and trying to fathom what would tip him over the edge to the degree where he
would choose to take his own life.

2010--June 18th--AEG and the Jackson estate have
agreed to donate $1 million to the Los Angeles general fund, per a press
release, and $300,000 in cash and equipment to the Los Angeles Police
Foundation. More: That last $300,000 "will be realized thru a $90,000
payment previously contributed (raised thru the sale of suites at the Jackson
Tribute) and a pledge to provide an additional $210,000 of equipment to be
requested by the LAPD including an initial call for the purchase of scanners to
be used by police officers patrolling skid row"

(Two problems with this timeline – One, it claims
Michael left Branca for David Geffen in 1990 and didn’t rehire Branca until
1993 and appointed him to the board.
According to Wikipedia and John Branca’s own web site, he was the one
that constructed the 15 year 100 million contract with Sony in March of 1991. So how did he do that if he wasn’t working
for Michael? Wow! What a guy!
Also it says that Branca was appointed to the Sony ATV Board at the same
time (1993, same year allegations came out w/ Chandler) I will lay you odds that Branca was NOT
appointed by Michael! - - -

Found some pictures from the TINI site w/ an interesting old discussion on an old hoax board (though I'm pretty sure you have it archived):
http://www.mjkit.forumotion.net/all-odd-things-f8/this-is-not-it-is-a-strange-website-very-strange-t2926.htm
Someone there thought all the pics were photoshopped. (Though there's a pic w/ a guy there, I don't remember seeing that on TINI, but still even if just one pic is shopped, WHY?)

--------
As for the rest, I really don't know what to think at this point.
Maybe she is a plant? her testimony said she started following MJ eight months ago - that would be Nov 2008 I guess, that pretty much fits the timeline if she is a plant?

But, she also says she's been around 2003 and a lifelong fan, and I think that is true actually, she didn't just appear out of the blue, there are other fans who seem legitimate who have known her for longer. I've heard she was at the trial in 2005, waaaay back she posted some pictures she took at Neverland. I think that was during the trial as well. Plus a lot of fans seem to hate her and they say she was a stalker and Michael didn't like her. Whatever. But the main point is that she has been around for years, she didn't just appear out of nowhere.

That doesn't necessarily mean though that she couldn't have some agenda, though I don't know enough about her to tell. (But to be honest I don't see her as a sinister person, more like someone who wants to be "important" coupled with some genuine good intentions... maybe she's just being used? I don't think she really knows that much herself, she's just passing on whatever she's being told. All IMO. But I'm keeping an open mind for your emails.)

I do think it is strange that TINI was able to get Reuters (!) to write about them, + the site looks rather professional... so it looks to me someone involved had media connections. (There were rumours that someone in TINI was media. There were also "voices" that some of the follower fans were people who would not have been allowed to hang around MJ before. These are all just random comments I've read here and there on message boards, so again, believe or not based on gut instinct only.)
If you add the photoshopped pics, something is not right about TINI.
(With all that said I do believe what they said in their testimonies though...)

I was going to speculate a bit more but then I saw your blog update, I guess I'm just going to wait for the rest before I make up my mind?

For now, the thing that sticks out to me is the part about the non-existent Heal the World Foundation? (non-existent in the sense that it has nothing to do with MJ, and the woman obviously knows this, since she knows about Branca stopping them from using MJ's name, so why does she want to donate to them?)
1/2 Century Legends Prod for legends deceased before the age of 50? Haha, someone sure had a sense of humour, lol.
Fishy, fishy, fishy...

Although, I hope you know what you're doing putting the woman's private emails on the net like that, she'll be mad at you probably... so please YOU be safe, ok?!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Pass me a nice glass of Chardonay, lest I get a migraine reading this stuff without it. Yowza... It's like the old saying (edited of course), "the poop is getting pretty deep..." Ugh...

You bet its getting deep and it will get deeper as we get closer to Murray's trial. Most telling is the link to the article about the nurse who is accused of killing her stepfather with propofol. Murray is out on 75,000 bail and that young woman is facing death.

I am so interested in were this is leading.... Bonnie I am curious as to how many hits you get on your blog?

Bonne - Why is that she is telling you something you already know. What is her point? This is clearly shows that she did not bother to read all of your posts that contain all this as she claims that she read all of them. That is a big misleading. However, in the middle of her writing, she talks about Branca and his fraudulent activity after he got dismissed in 2003. Wow!!!! At least she admits that he is a bad guy or she is stating what is true.

She jumped ahead and said, Branca resigned in 2006. Okay, if he resigned in 2006, when did he get hired back? I don’t think it is fare or correct to talk about his resignation in 2006 without providing any evidence or documents that he was hired back. Take it like any business that you get hired and rehired, and always there is documentation and why this is any different.

Okay she said on June 17, 2009 Michael hired Branca. Where is the letter? Did anybody see it?

missshae - "I am so interested in were this is leading.... Bonnie I am curious as to how many hits you get on your blog?"

I have no clue. I don't market this, I only post on twitter and a few facebook pages. Too busy researching and writing to look. :o)

Josie - Thank you lady <3 You have been a trouper. I know how hard it is to believe people and I know what it is like when you don't know who you can trust. Just remember Michael went through the same thing many times.

Truthbtold2 - I never suspected TINI because TINI and Samantha had a "falling out" at one time . . .probably contrived. But think about it. A website so professionally done, set up almost right after announcements for "TII" come out. My friend was right . . . looks well financed and planned in advance.

Misshae - Forgot to mention on your comments that with everything else that has been discovered, I am going to continue to keep my eye on Murray, but I have to say that in all fairness, I thought AEG was guilty as sin too for a long time. Murray is innocent until proven guilty. He is the pivotal key. He is either the took or the scapegoat. The truth about this will come in time . . .

Mimi - on Branca's rehiring, we all know he was not rehired back. She in this section, looks as if she is just repeating what she has seen off of different web sites. '

I do not get this because if she was in the media all those years as per her resume, you would think her timeline would have been a lot more professional . . . this was put together in a rush, it is NOT something she has been "working on since she worked at TMZ".

Remember, she first filled out my web form not long after all the hoopla-la with Charlie T and Randy T when they were exposed.

I am interested to see just how Aphrodite responds to my message. Either she never left "the press" or she is truly interested in justice and just doesn't know the depth of Charlie's involvement with Sony.

She saw a timeline I had a link to on my blog, but Michael did not hire him back. We know this.

Hello Bonnie, since I´ve been following your blog this is the first time i post here...i think you´re doing a great job; even sometimes i don´t agree with you.now i want to ask you something:why is AEG donating this ammount of money to...the LPAD????????

Meigadas - I'm not really sure. Originally when I read that MONTHS ago, I thought they were doing it just so they could hold this memorial for Michael without ticking off the authorities. Then reportedly they ended up paying for the memorial (S. Cal did not pay for this) but it is reported that the Estate helped too. There are conflicting stories being put out there. Those sympathetic to Sony will say AEG is putting lies out there and those who want to Boycott Sony say it is Sony.

I have dug and dug and nowhere have I found that AEG uses paid bloggers. I pulled up no reports of litigation against AEG for pulling the stunts that Sony has (Payolla, setting up fake blogs to sell PS3, hiring paid bloggers for marketing, etc), so who's on the up and up? I would have to go with AEG on this issue.

About Me

We are living in Biblically significant Times. Ironically it was the most persecuted man in modern history that lead me to dig deeper into the Bible and taught me more about God than any other human being on the planet. And that man is Michael Jackson.
I started a blog to defend him. I ended up researching him and learned just why they were after him. They did everything they could to shut him down. In the song "Cry" he said "take over for me", so that is what I am doing. God bless that man and his faith and strength

Michael And God

"Like the Bible says. A child should be leader of them all, and to be led by that kind of innocence. Didn't Jesus say 'bring on the children?' Be like the children. Not childish, but child-like. That kind of innocence."

Michael Jackson in the Martin Bashir outtakes

"Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived." Michael Jackson Oprah Winfrey Interview

"I avoid using the term 'religion', because many people say 'my religion' this and 'my religion' that. Why should it be 'my' religion? I just believe what’s in the Bible with regard to which religion is involved. I simply believe.... I believe in it and I get down on my knees every night and thank God and ask Him to lead the way."
